Everything that glitters is not Gold !
Educated in a little country town called Live Oak, Florida, and eventually graduating from high school in Philadelphia , Pa.; Traveling half way around the world, seeing great cities as Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, and ending up in Viet Nam, Not going to college until I was married some years later. I saw many great things, and some not so great. All this, before I even turned 20. I have found in that short time unto this day, that "everything that glitters, ain't gold".
The story begins today for the married as well as the unmarried, speaking to you about ideology. Some may say, why ideology? Simply because it deals with the mind and the heart. Is that so important? You can bet on it!
In the book, of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7, reads: for as a man thinketh, so is he., meaning you become exactly what you think. How you think determines also the choices you make. So what am I saying? We need an inside source,when making decisions for our marriages; and that source comes from above.
I Samuel 16:7 instructs us in this: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. Are we making decisions for our marriages from the inside source, or are we so attracted by "THE GLITTER" It looks like gold, it feels like gold, and is shaped like gold, it must be gold. Wrong answer! One will say, how then can we know? Here's how, by allowing the instruction of God's word to penetrate your mind and heart , and also for those of you who are getting ready to choose a mate for marriage.
Well, Don't just take my word for it, examine it for yourself. As you search the Word of God for answers, you will find within the context of His mighty wisdom, answers that you never imagined about your life and your decisions are already outlined for you and for your marriage. Amazing isn't it. . . .it sure is, and it's also Life Changing!
Try it, you just might find out, that everything that glitters, really isn't gold. The Lord will know, but will you?
God Bless you and keep you.

Not easy. I know the words of the Bible; it's applying it to everyday life that's tricky. We need steady prayer and fellowship for it to work.
What a gracious comment.Of course the key to applying God's princples is simple. FAITH. Releasing yourself to Him that is able to keep you from falling and pick you up even if you do is the best part of all. We can't do everything, give the things you can't do to God! Be Blessed!
